Ingredients
Biscuits
- 360 grams all-purpose flour 3 cups
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoons salt
- 70 grams butter 5 tablespoons
- 250 ml buttermilk 1 cup *see notes on how to make
Lemon Butter
- 1 stick salted butter room temperature (8 tablespoons)
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 1 ½ tablespoon honey
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Instructions
Biscuits
- Ready your buttermilk. Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Mix together the dry ingredients. Grate in the cold butter. Mix with hands, snapping/pinch to keep the butter in small pieces.
- Add most of the buttermilk. Mix the dough wiht a fork until shaggy and holding together. Don't over mix. Add more buttermilk or flour as need.
- Turn dough out onto a floured countertop. Press out to about an inch thick.
- Cut circles, using a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter or glass, being careful not to twist the cutter.*
- Place biscuits on a lined cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Serve warm with the butter.
Lemon Butter
- Whisk together the butter, lemon zest, and salt, honey, and thyme. Place mixture on a piece of plastic wrap. Gather together into a log shape and wrap with the plastic wrap, lengthwise. Twist the end in different directions to tighten shape. Refrigerate until solid. Slice rounds off for serving.
Notes
- If you're not using store-bought buttermilk, then add one tablespoon of vinegar to a one-cup measure. Fill the rest with milk of choice and let sit 5 minutes, then stir.
- If using a glass beware of using one that is dome-shaped. Your biscuits will not rise as much. alternatively, just use a knife to cut into 12 squares.
